Sulking

Corey was laying in his bed, sulking at his brother. Who had interrupted him and Ashtn before they could really start talking.

Cole was confused, completely oblivious to why his twin was sulking and pouting on the other side of the room. Without talking about what had happened. He had tried to ask Corey in the car, but got no answer.

So he tried again, when they came home. Still no answer.

Corney twisted and turned in his bed. He had taken a shower when they had gotten home and at the same time he threw away the torn up pants.

Their parents were busy with work, so they had easily snuck in, without them noticing Corey's bruise.

"When are you going to talk to me?" Cole asked, mumbling a bit annoyed. Hoping that Corey didn't hear him.

"Shut up, Cole." He muttered in response. Throwing a pillow across the room, aiming at Cole.

Corey's aim was well, but Cole caught the pillow before it hit him. He then placed the pillow beside the bed and glared over at his brother.

'God Cole, why are you so nosy? I wish I could talk to you. But I don't have the words to explain what happened. Why I am upset.

I don't think I have the courage to admit. Admit that I'm gay. Even though you probably already know.'

"Did something happen between you and that guy?" Cole said, suddenly. Startling Corey who was just about to fall asleep.

"What!?" Corey exclaimed, as he flew up into a seated position in his bed. Complete and utterly shocked.

"That answers my question." Cole mumbled, before turning off his bedside lamp, "Goodnight."

Corey breathed heavily. Feeling inside his chest, that his heart was beating at a rapid pace. A tiny bit of pain crept up on him, filling his chest. It was hard to breathe, but he didn't want to say anything. He didn't want to speak.

He slowly laid down in bed again. Placing his arms above his head, knowing that it would open up the air's path. Hopefully helping him to breathe more easily.

'Why did you say that Cole? Did you really have to? Do you know? Do you know how that makes me feel?

You know I already feel like I failed our parents. Did you have to increase that feeling, with your words. You are my twin. You are the one who is always by my side. Protecting me. You if anyone should know.

Know that I'm not confident enough to admit and accept who I really am.

Couldn't you just leave me in the moment?

My

Happy

Moment'
